Strangely I haven't seen this report on the BBC, although it is on the Mail, and sundry regional UK newspaper sites as well as an abundance of foreign outlets.

Perhaps the BBC will catch up eventually or perhaps they discounted the story as Russian propaganda in search of the sympathy vote...

Still, it does seem to come at a bad time for the president and the world, so we await to see what unfolds.

We wish the president a speedy

Make of these reports what you will, but this narrative seems to be supported by many factors currently.

I have happy memories of the time that I spent in Shanghai in 2004/5/6 when my then employer set up a factory in Pudong, across the river from Shanghai.

Perhaps because I was a westerner,  I was always treated with respect and felt very safe, even to the point of using a bicycle to navigate my way around town, do my shopping and get to and from work (in all weathers). I well remember cycling back from a shopping trip when a crowded bus passed by with everyone shouting at me from the windows - slightly alarmed I stopped, to discover that my shopping bags had fallen of the back of the bike - I couldn't imagine any London bus passengers reacting in the same way!

On another occasion I was similarly cycling back from the shops, this time in the pouring rain, when a police motorcyclist slowed alongside and accompanied me for a while....   whilst I was pondering what might be going to happen next he announced, very carefully in only slightly halting English: "possible you buy raincoat at the convenience

This is all based upon a grammar.

This grammar is based upon certain punctuation which appear unexpectedly (to those unfamiliar with the grammar) within the video below - if we are not looking out for this we will get rather confused!

We are all familiar with the notion of spoken languages grammar (eg: Latin, French, German), some of us are familiar with the concept of grammar as used to define computer programming languages, but a far as I know this is the first grammar specifically introduced for legal contractual purposes.

Words to look out for in this video:

"colon"

"hyphen"

"period"

We have reported on this case previously.

Whilst the glacial pace at which many legal cases proceed is common knowledge, the latest report from Michael O'Bernicia on his private prosecution of high-ranking folk for the "Midazolam Murders" shows just how the powers-that-be are now scraping the bottom of the excuses barrel.

“I have considered the application and I have now decided not to consider it …”

If ever there was a case that more clearly demonstrated that "the law is an ass"(or worse) I have yet to see it - although no doubt there are learned brethren out there

We noted a while ago that our government's obsession with stoking war rather than encouraging a negotiated peace in the Ukraine is perverse.

UK Column reports in much the same tone.

Ben Chapman of GB News reports (unsurprisingly) that Russia has a similar viewpoint:

"Russian state TV appears to have urged the Kremlin to blow "boorish Britain" to smithereens over the country's support for Ukraine"

Whilst the Satan-2 might be overkill, who can doubt that Russia would be entitled to take proportionate measures?

Two articles from the Daily Sceptic illustrate this with clarity:

Losses to “Fraud and Error” From Taxpayer-Backed Covid Loan Scheme Estimated at £15 Billion. Where Did it All Go?

Nobody asks "where did it all come from" because we know the answer - the benighted taxpayer will fund it one way or the other.

Sure, some minor small fry have been "caught with suitcases stuffed with cash" but what about the major villains?

So what to do? Must we join the criminal fraternity to defraud the government in order to stay afloat? Criminal activity does not attract me.

This article is from January 2016.

If PubMed have assessed the likely impacts then it is going on, and indeed we can see it with our own eyes.

"Geoengineering is the deliberate large-scale manipulation of environmental processes that affects the Earth’s climate, in an attempt to counteract the effects of climate change"

"Geoengineering approaches include solar radiation management, or SRM, and carbon dioxide removal... "

"SRM techniques attempt to offset effects of increased greenhouse gas concentrations by reducing the proportion of incoming short wavelength solar radiation that is absorbed or reflected by the earth’s atmosphere ... Proposed SRM techniques include stratospheric aerosols, reflective satellites, whitening of the clouds, whitening of built structures and increasing plant reflectivity"

There is no way to verify this portrayal of life around Mariupol, you will have to decide for yourself whether to believe, reject, or something in between, but if it's a film set then it's pretty extensive.

He doesn't believe the press reports either.

The Monday news round up from UK Column focuses on matters surrounding the conflict in the Ukraine, supported by Vanesa Beeley and David Scott. Possibly even more thought provoking than usual.

So why does Macron feature in this edition?

I don't think you'll find such reporting on the BBC:

Already 5 weeks long, the Shanghai lockdown morphs but continues.

This report is from the James Neil Cooper channel.

James has been reporting on China for years, mainly with regard to the Three Gorges Dam and associated matters such as flooding, so he is probably as well informed as anybody:

Yes really!

Should we have more conflicts of interest or fewer?

Should we be able to see those conflicts that are declared?

Should there be (yet another) watchdog to verify and ensure that all such conflicts have been fully declared in line with the "appropriate guidance"?

Given some of the dubious decisions that have graced the Covid gene therapies roll-out, this consultation deserves your serious attention.

Will there be another survey along shortly on strengthening the statistical methods used by the regulators in coming to their flawed conclusions?

Better still, should the proceedings of the regulators be conducted in public, and their reasoning opened up to public

Monday again, so the Fulford report is out!

Quite a blockbuster this week.

"... if the global conflict is financial, the West has lost it already"

"... when the US, Canada and England tried to stage a walkout of the G20 to protest against Russia, nobody followed"

Plenty more here including the relationship between Afghanistan Pakistan and the US, and the recent ousting of prime minister Imran Khan (clue, he is devoted to cricket - if only the UK remained so devoted).

Also the scuttlebut behind the "defeat" of Marine le Pen on Sunday... no real surprise there.

"And much more" (yes, really) including the state of play in the Ukraine

This is not a description of Common Law, but an exposition of the basis upon which Common Law is founded.

Common Law is common to all nations, all genuine religions, all thinking beings (including ETs should we happen upon them!).

It is the set of assumptions that are derived from the "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" principle - in short, it embodies all the necessary principles by which we can all live with each other in harmony and equality of opportunity, and excludes any and all rules not necessary for that purpose.

This little dissertation from the Democracy Defined Campaign elaborates on this theme with cross-reference to religious teachings of various faiths, and much historical development.

Until now the official press has kept schtum on the vaccine-related damage, even as the alternative news has been outing it.

Now the DT New Zealand has come clean with a major report which quite clearly states the problem, and acknowledges that it's not just New Zealand, it's worldwide:

"The biggest victims of this situation are now coming together, they are uniting to support each other, they are uniting to tell their stories, and they will be SILENT NO MORE"

"This is simply information and evidence about one particular vaccine. The COVID-19 vaccine"

"The people of New Zealand MUST know the truth about what has really happened in this country"

"Not what we have been told... on our television screens from the government’s ... ‘single source of truth’, and not what we have been told by our

We have noted before how our government prefers to ship more armaments and weapons of destruction into this imbroglio, rather than encourage the protagonists to negotiate a lasting peace in good faith.

The Minsk agreement of 2015 should have provided the basis for that negotiation, and still could.

It seems that good faith is lacking in many quarters, and not just in the Ukraine.

As this conflict drags on, should we in the UK still be stoking an impossible situation?

Do we really suppose that Vladimir Putin is going to give up and go home any time soon?

That simply isn't going to happen.

Unlike the picture, today has been free of linear artificial clouds, at least in this corner of Hampshire, but it's the first such day for a while. 

The difference between real jet trails that are short and sweet because they evaporate, and the artificial trails that spread and disperse until they cover the whole sky has never been more obvious, perhaps because it has been rare to see them both together in the same sky. We do now, so that must be a step forward.

Not noticed before?

Smart-phones don't help - if you are looking down at your device, you are not looking up at the sky.

This is not a merely local phenomenon.
